Happy Prawning at Big Splash East Coast Park.

Sometimes I think about the things I've done and sometimes I think about the things I didn't do. I ask myself what did I do to deserve some things I have in life and also ask myself about what did I not do to be where I am. - Self Doubt. As positive or as driven I am, I live in self doubt which not many knows and one of the biggest doubt I have in life sometimes is - "How did I get so lucky and meet so many nice people in my life?"

I started the year 2014 with a resolution of spending more time with my friends which I obviously haven't been really doing a lot but I'm still blessed that my friends are always there to ask me out despite my bad habit of rejecting them, double booking or even last minute kite flying.

But boy am I glad that I'm able to make it for tonight's ad-hoc meet up with the "Eastie Tweetup Gang"

From left to right: Smith (me), Chris, Junnie, Nic, Pris and Deb.

I 1st met these guys thanks to Donald, a junior of mine during poly days. He introduced me to this thing call Tweetup in 2009. At that point of time, I have this blog as well as a Twitter account which was hardly used and I know almost nothing about social media but meeting these people changed my life. I attended my 1st Tweetup - #ShootUrTweeple and that when I was introduced to a world of endless possibilities (And chick picking - best thing ever.).

Almost 5 years has past since we 1st met and we are at different stages of our lives now, a lot has changed. Pris was then just a hungry jobless tigeress, Debbie was a struggling artist cum Gahment slaved student, Junnie was a Gahment Slave in the sea, Nic was a free lance web designer while I was a Marketing Exec with a blog that has a record high of 7 visits in a week (They are all myself btw.)

Tonight, we met up and WE PRAWN!!!

Prawning is not exactly my 1st choice of activities but I always believe that in friendship, we try things for our friends because what matters the most is the company and I have to say this $33 for 3hrs of prawning was pretty well spent. I am not the most patient person in town but I sure did survive this 3hrs pretty quickly.  It was actually kinda find and surprisingly nice environment. Not smelly, not infested with mozzie and although it's outdoor it's not warm at all! Unlike one of those that I've visited at Pasir Ris farmway before which was pretty horrible.

Me and my Ex-Gf. 

Everybody else! 

Ex-Gf not bad, end of night result - 3 prawns! 

Junnie didn't prawn but he help to entertain lah hor~  

The "lao jiao" who caught a real big one! Look, Nic is happy about it. 

Abang Junnie feels sad for prawn cause we need to break his pincer. 

Mr.Impatient did pretty well as well actually, total score - 2 Prawns! 

Debbie finally got her 1st prawn but it was kinda tiny and Junnie is totally blocking it. Totally no luck despite being the birthday girl! HAHA. 

Final Score - Pris 4, Chris 3, Smith 2, Debbie 1 - Total 10! 

I'm happy with my tiny shrimp and non-existence bye-cep.

Finally, my blind pack touching skill was being appreciated. I managed to fish everyone what they wanted and they were all very impressed and happy at the same time. As for me, I'm even more happy cause I've finally found my Mermaid and Cat lady who are both rares! And in case you are wondering which are the rares are which are not...
